Downtown Dining Week, Football

Memphis' 3rd Annual Downtown Dining Week takes place next week (November 14 - 20, 2011). Enjoy three-course dinners or special offers in participating Downtown restaurants all week!

Memphis fans give R.C. Johnson a ton of hell for his perceived mishandling of the Tigers athletic department, but it's safe to say everyone is happy that there isn't a Penn State situation going on off of Highland. Wow, what a mess in Happy Valley. Everyone involved in the football program should be fired at the end of the season. Penn State's educational accrediting board (Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools) should also place the school on probation for allowing the athletic department to hold too much power over the university's administration and leadership.


Here's the picks for this week.

Last Week: 4-2
Season: 41-19 (68%)

Centre College over Rhodes
Memphis over UAB
Georgia over Auburn
Oregon over Stanford
New Orleans Saints over Atlanta Falcons
Tennessee Titans over Carolina Panthers

Weekly Liberty Bowl Projection: Houston vs Vanderbilt

Houston looks to be the class of Conference USA, although Southern Miss may give them problems. Let's give Vandy a shot to come to the Bluff City. The Commodores have a little fight in them this year.
